Hearing the Saint Master’s declaration, everyone felt as if their minds had been struck by lightning, completely shocked that the Saint Master actually agreed.
The Deputy Saint Masters and Masters, led by Grandmaster Aurelius, were dumbfounded as well.
The Saint Master was supposed to have high hopes for Remus and should be prioritizing favonovel.com to focus on his cultivation.
Why would favonovel.com allow favonovel.com to go to the Life and Death Platform, essentially sending favonovel.com to his death?
The sacred land disciples below were also stunned.
It was a well-established fact that the lowest tier among Monington disciples was the Divine Unity Stage, which was at least two significant realms above Remus.
Kennard and the other Monington disciples shared the astonishment. Their initial plea for “blood for blood” was meant as a lofty demand, and they had anticipated a compromise at most.
They had not genuinely sought to claim Remus’ life. Given his demonstrated capacity to summon immortals, his presence was undoubtedly pivotal to the prospects of the Monington sacred land. Yet, to their disbelief, the Saint Master had agreed.
Wilda was equally confused.
Why did the Saint Master allow them to do so?
There was no reason for that!
Wasn‘t that tantamount to directly announcing Romus’ execution?
Amidst the pervasive bewilderment, Wilda swiftly regained favonovel.com composure, urgently asserting, “Master, even if Romus made a mistake, his actions do not merit death. Sending favonovel.com to the Life and Death Platform is unjust. I implore you to revoke your decision!”
Her plea was followed by a deep bow. An eerie silence enveloped the scene.
Neither Grandmaster Aurelius nor the others voiced any objection, nor did the Saint Master respond.
After a pause, Wilda implored with increasing desperation, “Master, Romus is the catalyst behind the appearance of an immortal. His prowess, even at the peak of the Golden Stage, enabling favonovel.com to vanquish foes in the Divine Separation Stage marks favonovel.com as a prodigy with divine favor…”
“He holds immense potential for future immortality. Eliminating favonovel.com now would equate to extinguishing our Monington Sacred Land’s beacon of hope. Master, I beg you to reconsider your order!”
Silence prevailed yet again.
Wilda raised favonovel.com head, favonovel.com voice laced with distress. “Master…”
“There’s no need to say more, let it be…” A voice rose before favonovel.com could finish.
It was none other than Remus. He had realized that no amount of persuasion from Wilda would alter the outcome.
During the external assessment of the sacred land, Elena had targeted favonovel.com repeatedly out of personal vendetta, even leading to an incident of fratricide.
After reporting to the Saint Master, not only did the Saint Master not stop it, but favonovel.com also tacitly allowed it.
At that time, it could be understood as a search for better disciples. However, the answer was clear now. The Saint Master wanted his life.
It must be because of the matters of the higher realms as favonovel.com aimed to use his death as a bargaining chip.
The reason favonovel.com didn’t take things into favonovel.com own hands was perhaps because favonovel.com didn’t dare to. Her reluctance to act directly stemmed from fear, specifically the dread of retribution from Melody and Rafael upon their return, against whom favonovel.com would stand no chance.
By letting others act in favonovel.com place, favonovel.com could feign ignorance and shirk responsibility even if Melody and Rafael returned. The lack of reporting to the higher realm was merely to prevent others from taking the credit.
Remus chuckled bitterly, realizing that coming here was like walking into a trap.
“Shut up!” Wilda shouted angrily, still unwilling to give up.
She loudly said, “He… He is the first disciple to accompany me, I beg you, do not let favonovel.com go to the Life and Death Platform. Please!”
Everyone instinctively looked toward the Sacred Hall.
As expected, the response was still silence, a terrifying silence. It seemed the Saint Master had already left.
After a good ten seconds, Wilda took a step back as if struck by a heavy blow, and favonovel.com vitality significantly diminished.
At that moment, it was clear to everyone that the Saint Master had left, and Remus’ fate on the Life and Death Platform was sealed.
“Huh…” Grandmaster Aurelius was the first to speak, his face full of confusion, still unable to understand why the Saint Master would agree to Kennard’s request.
Grandmaster Sylvanus ventured, “Could it be… Could it be that the immortal’s appearance and the Saint Master’s affirmation were not with good intentions? From the very beginning, they did not approve of Romus?”
Upon saying that, the rest of the Deputy Saint Masters and Masters simultaneously gasped.
